Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?

Physics

Anestetic [448]3 years ago

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are two different quantities. In fact:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which gives a measure of how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. Therefore, it only has a magnitude, which is given by the ratio between distance covered and time taken:

s=\frac{distance}{time}

Therefore, speed does not take into account the direction of motion.

- Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by

v=\frac{displacement}{time}

where displacement is a vector connecting the initial point with the final point of motion of an object.

The direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

It must be noted also that in certain situations, the average velocity is zero, while the speed is not zero: for example, for an object completing a circle in a certain time interval, its speed is not zero, while its velocity is zero (because the object returns to the starting point, so the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.

An empty beaker is placed on a top-pan balance. Some water is now poured into the beaker.What is the weight of the water? A. 0.0
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A. 0.044 kg

Explanation:

We need to subtract the sum of (beaker+water - empty beaker) which is 0.106 kg - 0.062 kg = 0.044 kg. The answer will not be written in Newton because this unit is used for force only and in this question w have to find the weight.

Hope it is enough.
